I stayed here with some hiking friends in March. It was a return visit after a few years. The per night package at €45 per person sharing (€55 for single occupancy) was exceptional value. It included Bed with huge breakfast, evening meal and a packed lunch. Superb value when you consider that most B&B's charge that price alone for B&B.
3 of us shared room 2 which is a great family room. Two of us slept in a single and double bed in the main part of the room and the other slept in the attached room with it's comfortable double bed. Each room has an en suite. Our other friend had a double room to herself. Fresh scones were in our room on arrival and they have tea and coffee making facilities there.
Dinner consisted of a choice of two starters, two mains, two desserts, tea/coffee. it was delicious. Soup or Salad, Beef or Fish and fruit meringue or banana split. Four vegetables were served with the main course. Service was excellent, not rushed, just right. I chose the home made vegetable soup. The main course beef was melt in the mouth and the vegetables cooked to perfection.
The following morning we had a huge breakfast served to our table with plenty of everything, right down to the honey for our porridge and a plate of toast, freshly baked brown bread and white scones.

Just before we departed for our day exploring the sheeps head peninsula, our flasks were filled and we were given a well wrapped freshly made doorstop ham and salad sandwich, a piece of fruit and a chocolate bar.

I slept like a log there, the house is in an exceptionally quiet part of the peninsula and as it is stepped back from the road there are no car noises to disturb.

Ann Donegan, and her family (Rita was our chef for the two days), continue to provide a warm warm welcome where nothing is too much trouble for them.

The rooms are simple, yet comfortable. The TV reception isn't great, but that's not what you go to Sheeps head for.

The village of Kilcrohane is tiny. One shop, two pubs, a church and a few more buildings is the extent of it. Fitzpatricks pub which is just a two minute walk from the B&B (yet far enough away to be quiet) is a really quaint place for a pint and is run by the infamous Eileen, who is some character. Here you can meet and chat to the locals who are very friendly and waste no time in giving you advice about the area. The roaring fire there is a bonus and you really know you are in Ireland when you visit Eileens pub. Not to disappoint sporting fans, Eileen has installed a very large wide screen TV on one of the bar walls but it rarely encroaches on conversation.

I would highly recommend this B&B to you if you want to explore beautiful west cork and in particular this peninsula which in my mind is one of the most beautiful in the country.

You can also eat at the restaurant in Bridgeview House, and you don't have to be a resident to do so.
